Reviews

Austin Chronicle - Marjorie Baumgarten
Cheech & Chong's first movie is still their best. The duo wrote the genial script about the never-ending search for great pot, and a good supporting cast co-stars.

TV Guide Magazine - Unnamed
The funniest of all the Cheech and Chong movies, UP IN SMOKE provides a feast of gags for the sympathetically minded.
70
The New Yorker - Pauline Kael
Fairly consistently funny.
63
Slant Magazine - Unnamed
That’s the trouble at the center of the benign but tepid ganja-classic Up in Smoke: Its toking Abbott-and-Costello duo are so content to simply drift away in clouds of smoke that the audience is often left behind looking for the jokes.

IGN - Unnamed
And on this particular trek, the 70's duo find themselves in comedic situations which hit and miss in relatively equal measure.
